The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 297

James gave a nod, "Alright, as you wish. Don't worry, I'll make sure Natalia is safe. After all, none of us

have escaped your fist!"

"Chain me up, so I won't hurt anyone," Magnus said in a voice heavy with fatigue, before closing his

eyes and sinking into sleep.

Watching Magnus drift off to sleep, Natalia's eyes lit up. Excited, she turned to Dr. Frankie's mentor.

"He's asleep, does that mean the medication is working?"

James joined in, "Indeed, look at him, he's sleeping so peacefully. It's a testament to how effective the

medication is!"

Dr. Frankie's spirit lifted, as he began to circle Magnus. "Theoretically, the medication in the vial does

seem to have taken effect, but..."

"But what?" Natalia asked, her anxiety rising as she kept her eyes fixed on Magnus, looking for any

signs of discomfort.

Dr. Frankie shook his head. "I'm not sure. It's hard to tell. This poison is rare, so it's unlikely to be cured

quickly. We need to observe him for a while longer."

"Alright, I'll stay and watch over him," Natalia softly promised. She wouldn't leave until Magnus was

better.

Seeing Natalia's determination, James advised, "Natalia, you've been by Msgnus’ side for so long

without rest. Why don't you take a break and regain your strength? We're all here."

Natalia shook her head. "Compared to Magnus, who's suffering from the poison, what's a little

tiredness to me? As long as he gets better, I would gladly suffer in his place."

Facing Natalia's resolve, James didn't attempt to dissuade her further. He leaned against the wall,

waiting patiently for Magnus' potential reactions.

Dr. Frankie and his mentor also waited patiently. After all, the antidote they had concocted based on

the blood sample was not guaranteed to be 100% effective. It could even cause unforeseen

consequences.

The room was eerily silent, as the four of them anxiously watched over Magnus and silently prayed for

his recovery.

Suddenly, a horrifying scream broke the silence.

Magnus' eyes snapped open, his mouth wide as he let out a terrifying yell. His head shook violently, his

limbs twitching uncontrollably.

"My God, Magnus, what's wrong?" Natalia rushed to his side, gripping his hand tightly. "Magnus, are

you in pain? If you're in pain, squeeze my hand. You'll be okay!"

James also rushed over. "Magnus? Magnus? What's wrong?"

"Sedative, give him a sedative!" Dr. Frankie's mentor shouted. Dr. Frankie quickly grabbed the

prepared sedative and injected it into Magnus' arm.

After the sedative was administered, Magnus' frantic state slowly calmed down. He lay there, eyes half-

closed, breathing weakly. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Watching Magnus in this state, Natalia's heart ached. "Why is this happening? Why?"

Seeing Magnus in such a pitiful state, Natalia felt helpless. "Dr. Frankie, is this a good or bad sign?"

Natalia asked.

Dr. Frankie and his mentor began conducting various tests on Magnus. Dr. Frankie held Magnus' head,

while his mentor lifted his eyelids. "His eyes are bloodshot. It seems the antidote isn't working. The next

time the poison strikes, we can't rely on sedatives. It could cause his blood vessels to burst!"

"What should we do then?" Dr. Frankie asked, looking to his mentor for guidance.

His mentor shook his head, sighing heavily. "Unfortunately, we don't have a solution right now. We'll

have to create a new antidote."

James, watching the helpless duo, felt his anger rise. "Are you two competent or not? If you're not, say

so! You're toying with Magnus’ life!"

Dr. Frankie couldn't meet James' gaze. The severity of the poison was beyond his capabilities. His

mentor, however, was angered by James' outburst. "James, as I've mentioned before, this is a newly

synthesized poison. Depending on the mixture, it can have different effects. No research institution has

found a cure yet. We are sorry if you think we're wasting our time."

With that, he turned to leave. "If that's the case, we'll take our leave. You'll have to find someone else."

James was left speechless. He knew he was out of line, but seeing Magnus in his current state, he

couldn't help but lash out.

As the mentor was about to leave, James wanted to stop him but couldn't swallow his pride. He turned

to Natalia. "Natalia, what do you think..."

Natalia knew that if she allowed Dr. Frankie and his team to leave now, they'd lose any chance of

alleviating Magnus' suffering. She approached Dr. Frankie, her voice brimming with regret. “I apologize

for the way James spoke to you. He was out of line. Please stay, if you can’t help us, then we really

don’t know who we can turn to for Magnus' treatment."

Dr. Frankie remained silent, understanding that in such situations, the patient's family could be harsh

with their words. His threat to depart was merely a result of frustration. Now that the patient's wife was

pleading so earnestly, he responded, “I apologize for my harsh words, too. I shouldn’t have behaved

that way. But regarding Mr. Andersen's condition, I can’t promise to cure him. The poison is too potent.

Unless you can find the person who administered the poison and obtain the antidote, Mr. Andersen will

inevitably suffer through many trials.”

“I understand, I do.” Natalia nodded repeatedly. “We’ve already dispatched people to find Belle, but

we’ve yet to discover her whereabouts. Please, you must stay and help develop an antidote for

Magnus. Without you, we're left utterly helpless.”

“Alright, Mrs. Andersen, I apologize for my earlier behavior, I will do my utmost to assist. But you must

also hasten your search. Only the person who poisoned Mr. Andersen may have the antidote.”

“We will definitely speed up our search for Belle.” Natalia expressed through her pained voice.
